Verse
Proverbs - ch 17 v 21 - 28
- He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.
- A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
- A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.
- Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.
- A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.
- Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.
- He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
- Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.
